Age of Peace was a sci-fi film released on July 15th, 2000 with a run-time of 27 minutes.[1] It was South Korea's first 3D movie and had a budget of 6 million dollars. It was created to promote Korean boy group H.O.T. The movie starred the 5 members of the group and the Korean singer Dana.

Plot

5 boys (portrayed by the H.O.T. members) live in a futuristic society where they must win a soccer match against an alien race to protect the aliens from taking over the world.

Not much is known about the details of the plot. It is known that in one scene, one of the characters trips during the soccer game. The goalie runs over to him and encourages him to continue the game. In another scene, a character leaves the game suddenly to save the princess, portrayed by Dana, that is in danger. The rest of the team continues to play while he has to fight a dinosaur to save her.

Production

The movie was shot for 3 weeks in Japan completely in front of green screens. Every visual aspect of was digitized except for the actor's faces.

Despite the lack of prior acting experience, the members of H.O.T. took no acting lessons before shooting the film.

Release

There was a pre-release event that was attended by the members and music producer, Lee Soo-man, who was disappointed by the movie.

Despite the popularity of the group, the movie did not do well. Many theaters at the time did not have the technology for 3D movies, so it was only shown in theaters with such technology.

An original soundtrack performed by H.O.T. was released alongside the movie.
